She’s even going to give someone a free signed copy of Sentinel to one lucky winner! Whaaaat? Thank you, Jamie for being so generous!Hope you enjoy what she has to say, and be sure to check out her website! And be sure to scroll to the bottom to enter to win the contest!

So apparently when you have a blog, you’re supposed to update it. Yes, yes, I get that I’ve slacked lately, and I can’t wait to tell you why! Here’s the skinny on all that’s going on both past and present!

My writing:

The biggest news is, I’m so close to finishing my newest novel, Orphan Princess – a middle grade medieval fantasy adventure! I’ve been writing this since July – which is kill.ing me!, since it normally only takes a couple months for me to kick out a rough draft. This is the first full length novel I’ve written in the ‘Pantsing‘ mode, so I’ve had a few detours happen – specifically with plotting. (It’s hard to plot when you’re pantsing!) The good news is, I think I’ve found my rhythm and I ended up doing my first major revision before the manuscript was even finished! I expect to be done with the rough draft in the next week – at which time my first revision will be done, too! Backwards, but it works somehow. I will do a separate blog post about this book at a later date. Stay tuned!

As for the other scripts I have noted as ‘In revision’, I plan to get those done in early 2016, so I can move on to other projects. Yay!

This coming Saturday is my birthday! Yippee! What better way to celebrate than by giving stuff away, amiright?

So, for this month’s giveaway, I’ve decided to give away stuff related to all things me! That’s right! One lucky winner will win not one, not two… but five fun prizes!All things that I love or represent my life. Check out the fun items to be won and don’t forget to read how to enter multiple times to earn these great birthday treats!! Happy July 11, friends!Continue reading →

Happy Valentine’s Week!I figured I’d time this month’s giveaway with the big *heart* day, for double the fun! Don’t expect the giveaway next month to be green or relating to leprechauns 😉

Having said that, this month’s giveaway does have to do with love! Crazy love, to be exact. For those of you familiar with evangelist and pastor Francis Chan, then you’ve probably heard of this book. Our Small Group at church actually worked through the video series (also presented by Chan), which was fantastic and highly recommended. Read below for more info on the awesome message Pastor Chan passes along in this book!

It’s that time. Finally! I hadn’t really meant to make you all wait quite this long, but I’m hoping the prize will convince you to forgive me 😉 Again, in trying to give away prizes that come from local shops, this month I decided to go with one of my family’s all time favorites: Wilbur Chocolate! Yum!

Who wants to win a Golden Ticket for some chocolate??

If you aren’t local to Lititz and have never tried Wilbur chocolate, then you must enter this contest! This factory has been in business since 1884 and even has a small museum you can peruse while picking out your goodies. The favorite part for my girl’s would be going straight to the back and watching the ladies make the chocolate by hand, through the glass windows!

How did everyone like the ’12 Days of Giveaways’ contest? Personally, I had a fantastic time giving all sorts of fun stuff away and getting to surprise the winners with the good news that they’d won! 🙂 Although it took a bit more work than I’d originally anticipated, the thrill of having something to look forward to each day, truly made this a great way to end 2014!

I want to again say a big ‘Thank you’ to all those authors, business persons and small businesses that donated items to help make this contest a success. Your generosity made a dozen lucky winners very happy!

In fact, I had such a delightful time giving stuff away, I’ve decided to continue with giveaways throughout 2015!Woot! Stay tuned each month, to see what fantastic prize I’ll be giving away to even more lucky winners!

Until then, I’ll get back to writing and hopefully I’ll have something for you to read before the year is over!😉

Blessings to you on the upcoming New Year! If you have any suggestions of things you’d like to see raffled off, be sure to leave a comment below. I’d love to give away the things you’d most like to win!

Final two days of our contest! And I’m beyond psyched to tell you that today’s giveaway contains DOUBLE prizes! Woo Hoo!! First, congrats to Stephanie Y. for winning yesterday’s amazing prize – a signed copy of ‘Drowned’ by Nichola Reilly! Enjoy!

OK, back to the double prizes… 😉

Today, not only will you win a set of Jamberry nail wraps – generously provided by consultant Brandy Lemond – but you will win the entire set of my YA ebook novella series, ‘Now I Sleep’! Score! You’ll have something fun to read, and you’ll have some fancy looking nails to flash as you hold your tablet 😉

Jamberry Nails are nail “shields” that adhere to your natural fingernails or acrylics and are a simpler, more cost effective way to keep your hands manicured. They can be applied in less than fifteen minutes at home and can last up to two weeks on nails and up to six weeks on toes. With this DIY at-home application set of nail wraps, you will get 2-4 manicures and pedicures that will not chip or smudge. Choose from over 300 patterns and colors, there’s no drying time, and there are no harsh chemicals. They make it easy to make your nails look amazing, for much cheaper than salon manicures!
